You guys remember that one time in 2024 when President Trump was almost assassinated? And how, even a year later, we still didn't know much about the man who pulled the trigger, Thomas Crooks? Seems strange that we'd learn so little about someone who came within an inch of ending Trump's life, ya' know?
Welp, sounds like some information is finally starting to trickle out ... and the conspiracy theorists may have been right again.
Crazy how that keeps happening.
Check this out:
🚨 BREAKING: Newly uncovered accounts tied to Trump rally shooter Thomas Matthew Crooks reveal transgender ideology, “furry” fetish content, and ties to a retired FBI agent, per NYP.https://t.co/bdukw8MGUV

From the New York Post:
The online interactions from when Crooks was ages 15 to 17 give us a better understanding of his evolution into an assassin, and invite more questions about what — or who — reversed his ideology.
“The danger Crooks posed was visible for years in public online spaces,” says the source. “His radicalization, violent rhetoric and obsession with political violence were all documented under his real name. The threat wasn’t hidden.”'
He described himself with the pronouns “they/them” on the platform DeviantArt, which is one of the biggest online hubs for “furry” art and the “furry” community. (A furry is someone who has an interest in anthropomorphized animal characters, often as a sexual fetish.)
Two accounts linked to Crooks’ primary email were found on DeviantArt, under usernames “epicmicrowave” and “theepicmicrowave.” The account suggests he had an obsession with scantily clad cartoon characters sporting muscle-bound male bodies and female heads.
He was gender-confused and radicalized online.
Color us shocked.
Oh, and palling around with neo-Nazis? This goes from bad to worse ...

One of the people Crooks interacted with online was “Willy Tepes,” a member of Norwegian neo-Nazi group the Nordic Resistance Movement, which has since been designated a terrorist organization by the State Department.
Tepes encouraged violence and Crooks’ extremism, using a Maoist phrase, “Political power comes from the barrel of a gun,” which Crooks repeated several times.
Yikes.
So much yikes.
